History:
The BIAL Foundation was created in 1994 by Laboratórios BIAL in conjunction with the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities. BIAL’s Foundation mission is to foster the scientific study of Man from both the physical and spiritual perspectives.
Along the years the BIAL Foundation has developed an important relationship with the scientific community, first in Portugal and after worldwide. Today it is an institution of reference which aims to stimulate new researches that may help people, promote more health and contribute to new milestones to gain access to knowledge.
Among its activities the BIAL Foundation manages the BIAL Award, created in 1984, one of the most important awards in the Health field in Europe. The BIAL Award rewards both the basic and the clinical research distinguishing works of major impact in medical research.
The BIAL Foundation also assigns Scientific Research Scholarships for the study of neurophysiological and mental health in people, arousing the interest of researchers in the areas of Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
To date the BIAL Foundation has supported 461 projects, more than 1000 researchers, with research groups in twenty-seven countries, resulting, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, out of which 172 published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Since 1996 the BIAL Foundation organizes the Symposia entitled "Behind and Beyond the Brain", a Forum that gathers well renowned neurosciences speakers and the BIAL Foundation Fellows which are spread around the world.
Classified as an institution of public utility, the BIAL Foundation includes among its patrons the Portuguese President, the Portuguese Universities Rectors' Council and the Portuguese Medical Association.

Title: BIAL Grants
Start date: 1994
History:
In 1994 the BIAL Foundation launched a programme of science research grants with the aim of encouraging the research into Man’s physical and mental processes, namely in fields still largely unexplored but which warrant further scientific analysis, as Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
Since its launch, applications to the BIAL grants have been increasing. Up to now 461 projects have been supported, involving more than 1000 researchers from 27 countries.
The approved applications have benefited from grants in amounts comprised between €5,000 and €50, 000. The amount to be granted is fixed by the Scientific board according to the needs of each project.
The supported projects have originated, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, 172 out of which were published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Among the BIAL Foundation fellows is worth highlighting the presence of scientists from prestigious universities from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and many others.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

Mind-matter entanglement correlations: Blind analysis of a new correlation matrix experiment

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The work reported here is a rigorous conceptual replication of the so-called “Correlation-Matrix” experiment by an independent author. The experiment has been built from scratch with new hardware and software, testing 200 participants that have spent about half an hour each trying to ‘influence’ a physical random process visualized for feedback. The analysis software has been conceptualized following a strict blind analysis protocol. Blind analysis is a more rigid form of preregistered analysis, in which the complete analysis software is written and tested before the data is actually analysed for the effect under study. The unblinding of the analysis, also called ‘opening of the box’ of the experiment described here has been performed live at the PA convention 2019 in Paris.
The main result was found to be not statistically significant and fell well within the expected random distribution of possible results. A second experiment, also following a blind analysis protocol, included questionnaires that were correlated with the participants’ performance to ‘influence’ the physical random process (the main psi task). This yielded a probability of p=0.06 to have occurred by chance, under a null hypothesis. A post-hoc analysis of the hit rate for the psi task across all participants, which is mathematically independent from the correlation analysis, yielded a probability of p=0.06 as well, to have occurred by chance. Three unexpected anecdotal incidences that occurred during the execution of the experiment and the testing and actual analysis of the data may add to the canon of oddities and trickster-like effects sometimes reported in parapsychology research.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
The study investigates the interaction between mind and matter, exploring correlations between psychological behaviour and a physical system. Psychological data, acquired during task performance, and physical variables from a random number generator are combined into matrices for joint analysis. The Correlation Matrix Method (CMM) is a promising approach used to assess predictions from the Model of Pragmatic Information. Previous research employing this method has shown favourable outcomes, aligning with the Model's principles. CMM investigates the correlation between psychological and physical systems, to shed light on the interaction between mind and matter.
Aims
To examine the statistical distribution of matrices generated in experimental sessions compared to control sessions.
Method
A new experimental setup was employed, involving an online game designed for touchscreen devices. This study involved 726 participants from over 50 countries in 10,964 sessions. Participants' interactions, recorded as finger swipes, served as psychological variables. The study included experimental and control sessions conducted on participants' devices. Two RNGs, Random.org and Mersenne Twister, were used to investigate the effects of generated randomness.
Results
The analysis of each RNG's data showed statistically significant differences for Random.org, unlike Mersenne Twister, which showed no significant variations. The findings support the replication of CMM using Random.org.
Conclusions
The possibility of participant influence the RNG, despite their blindness, needs to be addressed in future studies. Implementing stricter control measures and additional blinding mechanisms could help address this potential confound.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The study investigates the interaction between mind and matter by exploring correlations between psychological behaviour with a physical system. Psychological data, acquired during task performance, and physical variables from a random number generator are combined into matrices for joint analysis. The research aims to examine the statistical distribution of matrices generated in experimental sessions compared to control sessions.
A total of 726 participants from over 50 countries engaged in an online game via touchscreen device (mobile or tablet), yielding data from 10.964 studies. Random number generators Random.org (5.330 studies) and Mersenne twister (5.634 studies) were utilized, resulting in the analysis of 10.525.440 psychological variables and 21.050.880 random values as physical variables.
Random number generator data were analysed separately. The analysis using Random.org indicated statistically significant differences between experimental and control sessions when employing a matrix with 4096 cells (64x64). The Welch’s T-test yielded a value of 3,811, with a corresponding p-value of 0,0001. The achieved power was high at 94%, while the effect size reached 0,084, above the required minimum meaningful effect size of 0,071. The analysis using Mersenne Twister did not exhibit statistically significant differences concerning the same matrix (64x64). The Welch’s T-test resulted in a value of 1,813, with a corresponding p-value of 0,069. The achieved power stood at 67%, while the effect size attained was 0,040, falling short of the minimum meaningful effect size required which was 0,071.
